Drak walked through the eerie darkness with Dinky on his shoulders. The little filly had tired herself out during the events and was happily asleep on his head. He smiled as the little filly mumbled words of thanks towards him. He could see the house and noticed Ditzy walking out of it. The pegasus saw him walking over and waved to him.

“Have to work the late shift tonight?” Drak asked as he reached the pegasus.

“Yeah, one of the employees called in sick and they needed an extra hand,” Ditzy replied as a small frown formed.

“You don’t seem very happy about having to leave,” Drak stated as he pulled Ditzy close.

“I’m just afraid that something bad might happen again,” Ditzy said trying to hold back her tears.

“What happened before?” Drak asked with concern.

“Well, before you and your friends arrived I had to work a late shift. I was delivering the packages easily until I felt a strong gust of wind. I tried to regain my balance but couldn’t catch myself in time and crashed on somepony’s house,” Ditzy replied.

“Did you hurt yourself when you crashed?”

“Not really. I had crashes that were worse than that. The problem was that the house that I crashed into was Blueblood’s house. He came out infuriated that I had woken him and ruined a self-portrait of himself. He insulted me for my clumsiness and that he would see that I was dealt with properly,” Ditzy replied as she held onto Drak tighter.

“Has he done anything to follow up on that threat?” Drak asked as he rubbed his mare’s back.

“He hasn’t done anything yet, so I guess he just forgot. I’m still worried though,” Ditzy said as she pulled away from the human’s grasp.

“Don’t worry about it, Ditzy. I’m sure that you will be fine and if he does try anything then come and find me and I will deal with it personally,” Drak promised as he gave a kiss to her head.

Ditzy blushed a little as she lifted herself off the ground and headed towards Canterlot. Drak watched her leave before heading inside the house. Once inside he put the unicorn filly to bed and went to get something to drink. He filled a glass with ice and water and sat on the couch. He slowly drank from his cold refreshment as he thought about what he said to her.

He was honest with the fact that he would be there in a heartbeat if something happened to her. Hell, even if something happened to Trixie and even Dinky he would crush whoever hurt them. The only thing that nagged him was that he possibly lied to her that she would be okay. If Blueblood was anything how Rarity and Ryan described him then he had every reason to be worried.

Not able to do anything for the night he resigned for his bedroom. Before sliding into bed, he placed his Bo staff and Sais near his bed. There was a chance that he was overreacting, but something in his gut told him otherwise. Taking the time to calm his nerves through meditation, he slid into bed and closed his eyes.

His eyes shot open as he heard his phone ringing. He looked over at his clock and saw that he had been asleep for only three hours. He quickly grabbed his phone and saw that it was Nurse Redheart that was calling him. He hit the answer button and put the phone to his ear.

“Hello, Drak, are you there?” Redheart asked.

“Yeah, I’m here, nurse. What do you need?” Drak asked as he put on a clean pair of clothes.

“Well, I’m calling you to inform you that something has happened,” Drak could hear the nervousness in Redheart’s voice and he didn’t want to beat around the bush.

“What happened?” Drak asked in a low and menacing tone.

“Ditzy was apparently attacked by some unicorn and is in the ICU. He left a note when he checked her into the hospital, saying that I should contact you,” Redheart explained.

“I’ll be right over,” Drak answered as he placed his Bo staff on his back and his Sais into his belt.

“Would you like me to contact your other friends?” Redheart asked.

Drak took a few seconds to think the question through. He would have the help of his friends, but he didn't want to bother them with something that didn't concern them. As he thought about his answer, images of Scarlet flashed through his mind. With new found resolve he answered the question.

“That won’t be necessary,” Drak answered.

Redheart didn’t say anything more as the two of them hung up their phones. He could feel the nervousness that was filling his body and left the house post haste. He didn’t take the time to walk to the hospital for fear of the condition Ditzy was in. He was able to reach the hospital in his hurried state. The human was going fast enough that the automatic doors didn’t open wide enough and he crashed on through.

He could feel the stinging sensation in his shoulder from hitting the door, but pushed it away. He reached the front desk and startled Nurse Redheart. Redheart could see the unsettle and worry that was in his eyes as he stared at her. The mre swallowed a lump in her throat as she spoke to the enraged human.

“I’m sorry, Drak, but Ditzy is in no condition to see any visitors,” Redheart said, cowering a little in her chair.

“Besides the phone call was there anything else that this assailant wanted?” Drak asked not taking his eyes off of the nurse.

“Well, he was sure that you would arrive and asked that I give you this note,” Redheart pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to the human. He took the paper and started reading over its contents.

Dear Trash,

You may have received a call about a certain mail pony suffering a terrible accident. That is just a warning for you and your other piles of trash. My employer has also given me the choice to deal with you personally if I want to. If you don’t want any of your trash or those mares that you call friends to get hurt, then you will come to the Everfree forest.

Sincerely,

Your Doom

Drak gave the note a few more reads before crumpling it and throwing it away. Not saying any words to Redheart, he walked out of the hospital. She heard glass shatter when he rounded one of the corners out of the hospital. When he was out of sight, the nurse scrambled through her papers to find another phone number of the humans. She knew that he told her not to call the others, but she saw that he wasn’t thinking straight.

She was able to find Blake’s phone number. She quickly rummaged for her phone and pulled it out. She dialed the numbers quickly and put the phone to her ear.

Blake

Blake was staring at himself in the tall mirror making sure that he looked presentable. Celestia was able to find the time to talk to him about the note that he left her. She graciously accepted since she wanted to get to know him better. He could see that there was something else behind her reason, but he didn’t feel like teasing her about it.

When he told Luna about Celestia’s answer, ecstatic couldn’t even describe her reaction. She pulled him into a tight hug and nearly severed his spine. He had never been so glad for his quick healing at that moment so the date didn’t get ruined. The suit he was wearing was kind of last minute, but Rarity was more than happy to make it.

Happy with the way he looked he walked towards the double doors and walked out. He was greeted by two guards that led him to where he was supposed to meet with the princesses. He was excited to take these two mares with him on such a lovely evening. Luna even took the time to make the stars even brighter to show her joy.

The human and his little entourage reached the two golden doors that the princesses were behind. He was about to knock on the door, but was stopped by a spear in front of him. He looked over to the guard and could see the look that he was giving him. The look pretty much meant that if he so much as even hurt the princess in any way, then he would personally hunt him down.

The human lifted his hands to show that he means no harm towards the princesses and the guard moved the spear. He took a deep breath before pushing the doors open. When the doors gave way to the outside he couldn’t help but falter a little in his walk. He saw Celestia and Luna standing by the gates in the most beautiful dresses he has ever seen.

Luna’s was a dark blue that hugged her curves very sensually with a slit running up the side to show off her legs. There was a small star pattern that ran along the bottom of the dress to help illuminate her beauty. Her bust was partially revealed, showing more than he was expecting to see of the princess.

Celestia on the other hand wore a little more modest dress. It was white like her fur and didn’t hug as tight. There was a tiny slit in her dress that went up enough so she could walk in it. There were flame designs at the bottom that reminded him what she was capable of. Her bust was well concealed but he could see the crack that was there.

The blue alicorn happily waved him over when she saw him. The white alicorn gave him a warm smile as he came walking over to them. He gave a slight bow when he reached the princesses. Luna placed a hand on his shoulder and he looked up into her beautiful, blue eyes.

“There is no need to bow to us, Blake. We are here together to enjoy a lovely night together,” Luna said smiling.

“My sister is right, Blake. We may be all powerful rulers of Equestria, but we enjoy going out just like normal ponies,” Celestia put in.

This helped put him a little at ease since he wasn’t sure how Celestia would react to this. The Sun Goddess still didn’t know what the date was about and Luna made sure that she didn’t catch on. The Moon Goddess was okay with the idea of the human loving both her and her sister, but he still felt kind of awkward about it. He knew that he was about to try and court a princess that could easily turn him to ash and he couldn’t help but chuckle a little.

He noticed the approaching carriage and gave a sigh of relief. The carriage couldn’t come soon enough to help put his nerves at ease. The carriage stopped in front of the gates and the driver held the door open for the occupants. The elder alicorn was the first to enter followed by her sister. He was about to step in when his phone started vibrating. He looked at the phone and saw that it was Redheart calling him.

“Blake, are you there?” Redheart asked very worriedly.

“Yeah, I’m here, Redheart. What seems to be the problem?” Blake asked. Redheart never called any of them unless it was an emergency.

“I think something bad is about to happen,” Redheart said as her breathing increased in pace.

“Calm down, Redheart and tell me what happened,” Blake said.

“Well, I called Drak to tell him that Ditzy was hurt. He came rushing over here with his weapons and he seemed upset. I gave him a note that seemed to upset him more,” Blake was cold as he stopped listening to what she was saying.

“Please tell me that you didn’t let Drak leave that hospital,” Blake pleaded with her.

“He already left before I could say anything to him. When he was gone I called you and I am looking over the note that he was given. It’s pretty much a death threat,” Blake dropped his phone when she finished and could feel the color leave his face.

The alicorns looked out to him, confused as to why he hadn’t joined them. When they saw his face they grew worried. They quickly exited the carriage and ran over to his side.

“Blake, what’s wrong?” Luna asked as she lightly shook Blake.

“We need to get to Ponyville right now and get the others,” Blake said in a worried tone.

“What’s going on?” Celestia asked.

“Someone attacked Ditzy and threatened to come after all of us,” Blake explained.

“Not to sound rude about it, but how is that cause for worry?” Luna asked.

“This is a cause for worry because if someone hurt a person that Drak cared for deeply then there will be a lot of bloodshed,” Blake answered looking into their eyes.

“Just how much bloodshed will happen if somepony was hurt that Drak cared for?” Celestia asked.

“Has Luna talked to you about the guard that Marcus killed when we first arrived?” Blake asked.

“She had told me some, but she left out some of the details,” Celestia replied.

“Well it’s about that much bloodshed plus enough to fill a tiny lake if need be. I’m also sure that if he had the means, then he would even make it rain blood,” Blake answered.

Celestia and Luna looked at the human for a few seconds trying to see if he was over exaggerating. Seeing that his eyes remained blank, they knew that he was serious and they needed to act fast.

Luna didn’t need any more reason than that to cancel their plans for the night. She trusted in his judgment about what was happening. With a snap of her fingers she changed in her regal princess dress and handed the human his own pair of clothes. He gave a slight sigh that he had to change after taking the past couple of hours making sure he looked presentable.

He quickly changed in the carriage and stood next to the princesses. There was no time to take a train or a pegasus drawn carriage to Ponyville. The Moon Goddess summoned her magic and grabbed him on the shoulder. He felt the pulling sensation as he was teleported to the peaceful town. Once there everyone set out to grab their friends so they could go get Drak.

Ponyville

Marcus walked towards the loud banging that was happening at the front door. He wasn’t asleep at the time, but there were two other mares that were and they didn’t need to be woken up this early. He grabbed the door handle and yanked the door open, ready to yell at whoever was on the other side.

He stopped himself from yelling as he saw Blake panting out of breath in front of him. He quickly went to his room and put a shirt and his shoes on. He joined Blake outside and he was able to get enough of his breath back to speak.

“Marcus, we have a problem,” Blake said.

“When don’t we have a problem?” Marcus asked seriously.

“The Scarlet incident is happening again.”

Blake could see that Marcus was trembling where he stood as he let the weight of the words hit him. Marcus looked in Blake’s eyes and saw that he wasn’t kidding. He let out a big sigh as he gestured for Blake to lead him. The two soon joined the others outside the hospital and they all looked nervous.

Marcus didn’t stop walking as he continued past them and entered the hospital. Redheart saw him enter and handed him the note. He read over the note a couple of times before ripping it to shreds and joining his friends. Once outside he told them what has happened and they headed for the Everfree forest.

“So what exactly is the Scarlet incident?” Twilight asked.

“It refers to a tragic event that changed Drak immensely,” Ryan answered.

“Well, if we are about to enter some kind of dangerous situation, don’t we at least get some kind of explanation?” Whooves asked.

“Well, since we have some time before we probably find him, I guess we can let you know,” Luke answered.

Three Years Ago

The friends have been traveling for a year, stopping every once and a while to gather supplies or rest. During their travels they ran into a group of four survivors walking in The Valley of Death. The friends stopped and studied the group. There were three men in their early thirties and a girl around their age.

The survivors meant no harm towards the friends as they raised their hands and got on their knees. The friends were about to leave when Drak stopped them. He walked over to the survivors and crouched down to them. He asked them if they would like to join and they accepted only if they weren’t going to be in the way.

He assured them that it would be fine and that they were more than welcome. The survivors gave a few glances at the others that were waiting for their friend to finish speaking. Seeing that he was being completely honest with them, they joined happily. With everything sorted out everyone got in their vehicles and continued on with their journey.

The girl removed the cloak that she was wearing and sat down next to Drak. He took in the features of the girl sitting next to him. She was a slender woman that was just an inch shorter than him. Her hair was long and smooth as it reached half-way down her back. Her eyes were a sparkling blue and gave a warm smile. The girl turned to him and offered a hand to him.

“My name’s Scarlet. What’s your name?” Scarlet asked, never letting her smile falter.

“The name’s Drak,” Drak said as he shook her hand.

Out of everything that this world had brought all of them, Drak could say that this was the happiest thing he could have ever received. During their travels everyone took turns keeping watch and getting supplies. He always offered to go with Scarlet whenever he got the chance and she never opposed his offer.

The two were becoming great friends and he would be lying to himself if he said that he wasn’t falling for her. There were many horrors that the world has thrown at him and all his friends. Scarlet was the first thing that was thrown at him to make him feel happy. Three months had gone by when the survivors were picked up.

Drak was able to get the courage needed in those three months to ask Scarlet to be his girlfriend. He was heading for the campsite they had made when Marcus stopped him. He told him that they needed to head out and get supplies. Drak argued that they all didn’t need to go, but Marcus mentioned that there were soldiers stationed around the supplies. He sighed heavily as he grabbed his weapons and walked out with the others.

After three hours of sneaking around and gathering the supplies, they were able to make it back to the campsite. As they neared the building, Drak could see that there was a heavy cloud of smoke. He grew worried since no fires should be going since it was so late at night. He could feel his heart drop as they rounded the corner and saw the campsite on fire.

He dropped the supplies that he was carrying and ran into the blazing fire. He coughed heavily as the smoke filled his lungs and made his eyes water. The heat was unbearable, but he had to push through and find Scarlet. He exited the other side of the campsite and saw scarlet hair in the distance.

Throwing any caution to the wind, he ran towards the scarlet hair. He slowed his pace as he came across Scarlet’s body. He could feel the bile coming up and didn’t try to hold it back. He released any contents in his stomach as he stared at her lifeless body. Her clothes were torn and he could see fluids near her thighs.

He knew immediately that she was raped before she was killed with a slit to the throat. He walked over to her body and fell to his knees. He picked her body up and held it close to him as he felt the tears fall from his eyes. He had always let a few tears fall from his face, but this was the first time that he fully cried for something.

During his crying, he saw a shadow standing in the distance. He could feel the sadness leave and be replaced by pure hatred. The shadow beckoned him over and he was more than happy to oblige. The figure led him through many twists and turns until finally stopping inside a warehouse.

It was dark inside for a few seconds until the lights were turned on. Drak immediately recognized the figure to be one of the survivors named Josh. Standing next to Josh were two other soldiers that he saw during the supply grab. He stared angrily at Josh as he gave him a big smirk. He had many questions that he wanted answered, but at this moment it didn’t matter.

“Why did you do it Josh?” Drak asked as he glared at the man.

“Isn’t that the age old question. I could give you all the justifiable answers to why I did it, but in this world it doesn’t really matter,” Josh replied.

“It does matter when you hurt innocent people!” Drak screamed at him.

“If it will help to calm your mind then I will tell you. I did it for the power, money, and protection that Blackwatch offered. I had no idea when I took that woman along with us that she was a runaway test subject. When I found this out Blackwatch approached me and offered me a substantial reward. As you can see I gladly took it and I have no regrets,” Josh couldn’t help but laugh a little. That was enough to set Drak off.

The only thing that mattered was that Josh was dead beneath his feet for what he did. The soldier on the right loaded his gun and Drak went straight into action. He grabbed his Sai on the right side and threw it at the soldier. The tip pierced his right eye and he screamed. He fired his gun uncontrollably missing everyone.

Josh and the other soldier were in shock from the other soldier and Drak used this opening. He charged at the other soldier with his other Sai and pierced his hyoid. He listened to the soldier gurgle on his own blood as it poured around him. He removed the Sai from his hyoid and repeatedly stabbed him in the gut.

The older man turned tail and ran as the enraged human went over to the still screaming soldier and removing his Sai. His eyeball was attached on the tip and he pulled it off with disgust. He cleaned his two Sais on the soldier’s shirt and put them away. He then pulled out his Bo staff and went to beating the soldier’s skull in.

With nothing but paste remaining of the soldier’s head, he went on his way to get Josh. The scared human was trying to find a way out of the warehouse, but couldn’t find anything. His search was stopped as he heard metal on concrete echo around him. The older man slowly turned around to see Drak slowly walking towards him. The older man fell to his knees as he begged for his own life.

Drak humored the man as he listened to his pathetic pleas. He was now standing in front of the whimpering man and placed his hands on his head. The man stared at Drak who was giving him a warm smile. The confused human felt himself calm a little until the smile turned into a devious grin. Drak placed his thumbs over Josh’s eyes and pushed in.

The older man howled in pain as the fingers pierced his eye sockets and dug for his eyes. Drak was able to get a grip on the traitor’s eyeballs and pulled them out forcefully. The blinded human quickly jumped to his feet and tried to feel his way out of the warehouse. Drak threw the offending eyeballs to the side and watched the pained human suffer.

During his walk around the warehouse Josh stepped on a chain that was laying on the floor. When he moved his foot to take another step the chain wrapped around his ankle and pulled him to the air. Drak heard something clatter on the floor below the dangling human. He walked over to the object and saw that it was a knife.

There was still blood on the knife and he knew who it belonged to. He picked the knife up and stared at the dangling human. He grabbed Josh’s head and held the knife to his throat. The traitor was about to say something, but was cut off when Drak cut through his jugular vein. Blood shot from the cut vein and covered him in a good amount of blood.

Drak wasn’t done with the traitor’s body yet. He took the knife and placed the serrated edge to his lips. He slowly sawed through his cheeks as he removed Josh’s lower mandible. With the lower mandible removed, he moved on to cut his nose off. When the nose came completely off he took out his Bo staff and smashed it into his face. He lost count with how many times he struck Josh in the face. He stopped only when there was no more bone protecting him.

Drak dropped the knife and turned around for the exit of the warehouse. As he walked towards the exit he saw his friends coming inside. They saw the condition that he was in and kept silent. He walked past them as they took a quick look around. He stepped out of the warehouse and it was starting to rain. He pulled the hood up and over his head and never spoke to any of his friends about what happened.

Everfree

“So you all found survivors in the desert. They traveled with you for a couple of months. You all go on a supply run. You return to see that the survivors were killed along with the horrendous thing that happened to Scarlet. You hear something happen in the distance and you check it out. The next thing you see are dead soldiers, one of the survivors killed by Drak, and he just walks away,” Twilight summarized.

“Pretty much on the spot with that,” Ryan answered.

All the mares gave looks of concern with each other about the story. Trixie was concerned, but she was more worried about Drak’s well-being than what happened in the past. She could see that the other mares were a little on edge from the story that they were even debating if they should continue to look. She was about to say something when Celestia continued the conversation.

“So you were never able to get the information that you needed,” Celestia said.

“Like I said, he never spoke to us after that incident. It was because of that sole reason why we have the code Scarlet Incident,” Alex replied.

Everyone continued to look around the forest, hoping for some sign on Drak’s whereabouts. They were about to continue their journey when there was a loud boom that shook the ground. Everyone turned around to the source of the sound and saw a red beam of light. Everyone saw Twilight, Luna, Celestia, Rarity, Trixie, and Vinyl shake with fear.

“What the hell was that?” Jaeden asked

“That is the result of magic overload. It only happens when a unicorn can’t control their magic,” Twilight explained.

“Well, whatever that is, that light is our best bet to probably finding Drak,” Marcus said. Everyone nodded their heads and ran towards the light.

Drak

Drak was walking through the forest with no sense of direction. He was ready to scream when a sparkling trail appeared before him. He assumed that it was the person that attacked Ditzy and quickly followed it. As he followed the trail he saw that he was nearing an open area. He entered the clearing and was met with a black unicorn stallion.

“So glad that you were able to join me, trash,” the stallion said.

“Who the fuck are you?” Drak spat at him.

“My name is Wrath and I’m your doom,” the stallion said as he smirked.

“Why did you attack my beloved?” Drak asked as his breathing became heavy.

“It was what I was paid to do. Honestly you should thank me for taking her out. The poor pegasus had such messed up eyes that it was grotesque. I couldn’t take her out quick enough before I lost my dinner,” Wrath said with a sadistic grin.

Drak felt his anger reach the boiling point as he charged the stallion. He pulled out one of his Sais and went for the throat. The stallion could only smirk as he grabbed his wrist and throw him over his back. The human hit the ground with a thud and felt the wind rush out of his body. The stallion went to stomp his face in and he quickly rolled out of the way.

The stallion grabbed his knife and cut the palm of his hand. The human watched as the stallion was speaking incantations to himself. When the stallion finished he let the blood from his hand drop to the ground. There was a small flash of light as something came from the ground. The human stared in utter confusion at the creature.

Wrath summoned a mermaid from Tartarus. The unicorn couldn’t help but laugh hysterically as he sent the beast after Drak. The human dodged the best he could, but the mermaid was too fast. He felt as her claws scratched up his body but he ignored the pain. The mermaid went in for the final hit when the human pulled out his Bo staff and slammed it on the mermaid’s head.

The mermaid screamed in pain causing him to cover his ears. Wrath took this opportunity to charge him and slammed his fist into his face. The human was thrown back a few feet and hit a tree. He grunted as he used his staff as a crutch to get to his feet. The unicorn and the mermaid jumped at him at the same time for the finishing blow.

The human closed his eyes as he felt the strength leave his body. He accepted his fate and the reasoning behind it. He shouldn’t have been so stubborn to go after this guy. An image quickly flashed in his mind and he saw Ditzy, Dinky, and Trixie. Before he would see Scarlet, but now it was his own mares.

They were all smiling and this caused him to snap. Wrath and the mermaid were about to deliver the final strike when a beam of red light shot out from the human. The force of the beam sent the unicorn flying back and the mermaid was ripped to shreds. The stallion got to his feet and saw the red glow from the human’s eyes and hands.

The stallion watched as the human stumbled towards him with no real sense of direction. The unicorn gave a smirk knowing that the human had no control over his magic. The stallion got ready to summon another demon when the human interrupted his summoning. The blood fell from his hand, but the human destroyed the demon before it could even appear.

The stallion jumped back a few feet to judge him. With his ability to summon any demons taken away, he fired a bolt of magic at the human. Drak flicked his wrist and summoned a wall of magic to protect him. The wall lowered and he continued to stumble towards the stallion. Wrath could feel the sweat starting to form on his brow from overexerting himself.

The unicorn turned around to try and escape him, but he was stopped. He saw a red aura encase his body and was turned around to face the human. Drak looked at him with lifeless eyes before slamming him to the ground. The stallion felt the impact of the ground, but before he could register the pain he was thrown into a tree.

The stallion felt his left arm break as he broke through the tree. He was panting heavily as he struggled to get to his feet. He was soon standing, but the human slammed a fist into his face and caused his skull to crack. The human didn’t let him fall to his feet as he grabbed him by the horn and slammed his knee into his gut.

The unicorn was defenseless against the human as he continued to pummel his body. He was thrown to the ground and saw the human looming over him. His breathing was shallow and he closed his eyes, waiting for the inevitable. A few seconds pass, but he felt nothing. Taking a risk he cracked open one eye. He saw the human being held back by the others as they tried to calm him.

Luke was in his armored state with his arms under Drak’s, holding him in place. Drak struggled with all his might to break free and rip out Wrath’s throat. Blake slowly walked up to him and when his gaze fell on Blake, he was sent flying back. Luke brought Drak down on his knees as he reached for one of his Sais.

“Drak, you need to snap out of it,” Ryan said.

“You aren’t in control of yourself and if you don’t calm down then you will be lost forever,” Trixie said. Marcus saw that they weren’t getting through to him so he decided to do the craziest thing ever.

“Drak, if Scarlet was here right now, do you think that she would like to see you like this?” Marcus asked.

Drak immediately glared at Marcus and tried to get at him. Marcus took a few steps back as he watched his friend struggle with all his might to get at him and the unicorn. Trixie walked next to Marcus and placed a hand on his shoulder. She gestured for him to go and check on Blake as she handled him. He gave her a worried look before resigning and letting her have a chance to calm him.

“Drak, please calm down. This isn’t like you at all. I know what happened to you before and I know how you feel, but this isn’t helping. You’re letting all this anger and hatred consume you. You may have lost Scarlet, but you still have us. You have me, Ditzy, and Dinky that love you so dearly. Please, just let this all go and come back to us,” Trixie pulled Drak in a hug as she cried on his shoulder.

Drak could hear the voices in his head to attack the stallion, but another side of him told him not to move. The red aura that encased his body slowly receded as he saw Scarlet in the distance. She was not mad, but crying. She was crying for him and she walked towards him. When she finally reached him, she placed a hand on his shoulder and smiled at him. For the longest amount of time he blamed himself for what happened to Scarlet.

Now that he saw her smiling down at him, he knew that she was happy and in a better place. When her image vanished, he quickly wrapped his arms around Trixie as he let out a few tears of his own. The azure unicorn didn’t say anything as she rubbed his back and let him cry to his heart’s content. He was able to get control over his sobbing and spoke to everyone.

“I’m so sorry, everyone,” Drak apologized as he felt his body get heavy.

It wasn’t long before he went limp and slipped into unconsciousness. Trixie gave a small smile as she ran her fingers through his hair. Luke let him go and returned to go check on Blake with Marcus. The azure mare hummed a little song as everyone took the chance to relax and calm their nerves.
